How to know PID of background job at runtime?

[Former Member]

Each background job has a unique Work Process ID (PID).

Is there a way to know the PID of a job at runtime, inside the ABAP program that is a step of that job?

Sy- varaibles dont seem to give the PID. Is there any Function module that will give PID at runtime?

Hi Sudhir,

If you have the jobname, then you can query the table TBTCO with the same. This table contains couple of fields WPNUMBER(Work process number) & WPPROCID

(Work process ID).

Thanks for the replies.

I have a situation where more than one jobs of same name are running at the same time. Thats why I want to get the PID at runtime for the current job. Any suggestions?

Hi Sudhir,

You can try using the FM 'TH_WP_DETAIL_INFO' which returns the pid value. You can use it as under:

CALL FUNCTION 'TH_WP_DETAIL_INFO'

EXPORTING

WP = 'XX'

WITH_CPU = '10'

WP_INDEX = '0'

IMPORTING

WPINFO = wpinfo.

WPINFO- WP_PID will contain the PID value of the current process. Do let me know if this works for you.

Thanks for the replies.

We used FM TH_GET_OWN_WP_NO to get PID.
